"Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company"

Wonder if sympathy cards have gone out yet from Joel Klein, Peter Gorman, and the rest of Murdoch edu-whores. From the Report by the House of Commons (their bold):

"On the basis of the facts
and evidence before the Committee, we conclude that, if at all relevant times
Rupert Murdoch did not take steps to become fully informed about phone-hacking,
he turned a blind eye and exhibited wilful blindness to what was going on in
his companies and publications. This culture, we consider, permeated from the
top throughout the organization and speaks volumes about the lack of effective
corporate governance at News Corporation and News International. We conclude,
therefore, that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship
of a major international company" (p. 70).
